Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
合格的圣诞电影。虽然很抱歉现实中会不假思索左滑男主，但营造浪漫的时空，心意的合拍胜过左滑、右滑带来的幻觉。Nina还是有一见惊艳的感觉
有几处剧情太硬伤，特别是爱情部分，让人很难代入，女主哥哥被杀后居然马上跟杀哥仇人滚床单，完全没有伤心的意思，太不科学。但是歌舞都很喜欢，场面也很精美复古，两个半小时完全没有觉得无聊，果然只有斯皮尔伯格可以做到～
虽然是无脑俗套的浪漫爱情戏，却极富现代感且有着很多超出预期的笑点和猝不及防的泪点。女主真美。被网恋中的欺骗深深戳中
豆瓣分这么低啊，不至于吧🙈欧阳万成演圣诞浪漫喜剧没啥不合适的——难道大家更愿意看演他哥哥的那位帅哥演绎josh的那些细腻情绪么 lol 我是没胃口。结尾致敬love, actually自然不尬，好评~
疫情之下的奥斯卡，影片的影响力和内涵呈现出明显的疲软，当然，西区故事的入选也必然有精彩之处。
看完只感觉自己像是住在地下室的悲催亚裔，还不会做蜡烛
罗密欧与朱丽叶是这么气人的故事来的吗！！！和朋友一起看的，我喜欢看打架，女朋友们都喜欢看跳舞；女朋友们都喜欢她哥，只有我一个喜欢他弟。但大家都同意嫂子是唯一一个讲理的！

遇到主角就跳过
对完美主义者说“爱不是完美是真诚”相当于bullshit 只有电影里才有可能发生的剧情 订婚那段镜头用得很出彩啊 / 比起奈飞其他同类型的电影已经好很多了 / 假结婚+致所有我曾爱过的男孩
咱就是说很久没看过这么难看的电影了，奶奶那段不错
一流的舞步 二流的设定 三流的歌曲 你们是在唱爵士么？毫无章法可言 我操 难听又爱秀 最受不了的就是男主角 卧尼玛震精了 随便挑一个小伙子都比他有说服力啊 这啥啊 尚气来演都没有这么违和的 心气的突突的
斯皮尔伯格的功力宝刀未老，几处歌舞场景调度，剪辑拍摄都颇显功力。
大导演斯皮尔伯格老马失蹄，执导了一部不那么让人喜欢的流行影片，和他之前的作品没法比。一部电影要有故事有演员，本片败在了演员身上，应该说选角导演要承担一半的责任。看着男猪脚Ansel Elgort，不由得想起了分歧者这部电影，竟然出了三个让人不喜欢的演员，也是绝了。另两个是大饼脸Shailene Woodley和Miles Teller，都是又不上镜又没有演技的，甚至暮光之城在它面前都算好看的电影了。不过还好，本片结尾还算令人舒适。
音乐剧电影到了Spielberg手里，尬唱也自然了，close up也正常了，编舞魅力不减，演员唱功弱点被顺利掩盖，还给了我Ariana Debose和Mike Faist 那么亮眼的戏份。老奶奶的Abuela改编还蛮有想法的。不得不服。
看笑了 金球奖诚不我欺 果然是音喜类最佳影片
若不是听出杜达梅尔的指挥也许坚持不到💃DeBose💃tonight很洗脑啊Lenny
审美观的问题，理解不了歌舞犯罪片，前一天跳舞，后一天杀人？
影片本身也就3星，但是这种超级大俗套能套在亚裔身上可是太难得了，可能大概有史以来第一次吧，所以加一星。作者很清楚亚裔男性在约会市场通常被黑的点。提到了北京和冬奥，片尾配乐有塑料二胡。
就好像…因为一首歌买了一盘CD，然后发现那是整张专辑唯一一首好听的曲子…
